Qian Jingan gradually slowed his pace, thought for a moment, and turned to enter the fortune-telling hall across the street.

This old man was a very curious individual by nature.

Past the purple painted entrance doors, the interior was simply and tastefully decorated. A large Eight Diagrams symbol hung on the wall opposite the main entrance. Beneath it was a long table made of pearwood, upon which lay an assortment of measuring tools, paperweights, copies of the "Yi Ching", and an Eight Diagrams bronze plate. There was also a shelf displaying various antique curiosities.

This setup was rather standard; most fortune-telling halls are organized this way. Qian Jingan swept his gaze across the ornaments on the shelf, immediately recognizing them as counterfeit items picked up from local markets, intended to fool the naive layman.

After all, Qian Jingan was not just a renowned historian, but also a famous antiquarian. Nothing could escape his discerning eye.
